Dan M. Frangopol, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Emeritus, and Inaugural Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture, Emeritus, at Lehigh University, was recognized by the University of Rostock during the 21st International Probabilistic Workshop, held September 10-12, 2025, in Germany.

Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a manufacturing technology that builds objects layer by layer using materials such as metals, polymers, or biomaterials.

The ability to reliably order groceries or takeout, have rapid package delivery, check the weather forecast, or follow GPS tracking is all a part of the US's ever-growing satellite and space economy. The continued growth of this economy relies on advancements in propulsion technologies. One such breakthrough is the “Rotating Detonation Engine" (RDE). The RDE offers the ability to deliver satellites to precise orbits in outer space with greater robustness and reduced fuel consumption and emissions than with current conventional engines.

Our brains are masters of efficiency.

“Biology is very energy optimized,” says Yevgeny Berdichevsky, an associate professor of bioengineering and electrical and computer engineering at Lehigh University. “The amount of energy the brain uses at any given time is roughly equal to a light bulb in terms of wattage. Replicating those computations in hardware would demand orders of magnitude more power.” 

The P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science has named two faculty members to leadership roles in the First-Year Rossin Experience (FYRE) initiative, which is designed to reimagine how engineering students begin their academic journeys.
